I am a Colombian, Swiss, and American professional with a diverse background that provides me with a well-rounded understanding of global cultures. My journey began in filmmaking, where I honed my storytelling skills and produced impactful works, including a film that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival with one of Colombia's most renowned directors. I also created a documentary on gender violence in the communes of Medellín, a narrative broadcast annually on Mother’s Day in Colombia.

Motherhood inspired me to follow my lifelong dream and pivot towards technology, leading me to pursue a degree in Computer Science, graduating with honors from Johns Hopkins Engineering for Professionals. During my studies, I discovered Bitcoin and became captivated by its potential to revolutionize financial sovereignty. I began my journey in the Bitcoin community by editing videos for Tone Vays, a prominent figure in the space.

Today, I host a technical Bitcoin podcast, exploring the intricacies of this groundbreaking technology. My work extends to the Bitcoin Education Network, where I help spread knowledge and foster understanding of Bitcoin’s transformative power. Recently, I spoke at the Unconfiscatable conference in Nashville, sharing my insights on Bitcoin education.

Beyond my work in Bitcoin, I am passionate about soldering and tinkering with electronics, constantly exploring ways to blend technical skills with hands-on creativity. This love for building and experimenting is reflected in the workshops I now host, where I guide others in creating low-cost, secure hardware solutions for managing digital assets, emphasizing accessibility and empowerment, especially for communities in developing countries.
